I was hired by First Look Media’s The Nib to spend the week of the DNC 2016 interviewing protestors around the city. Every day I spent the morning and afternoon in the field, before returning to a makeshift studio to draw my comics up that evening and publish them the following morning. Check out all of my posts here.

As an experienced live scriber and sketch artist, I can translate your conference speeches or meetings into 8′ x 4′ full colour visual treatments in real time. Sketching live on stage or discretely from the audience, I synthesize and capture the key points from speeches and render them in an eye-catching, accessible way that will resonate with audiences long after the event is over. I can also produce more intimate sketchbook summaries: here’s what I produced over the course of the two day Experience Engagement Conference in Portland, Oregon in October 2015.

Above is a selection of recent live scribing sessions from work at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, as well as from conferences in Washington DC, New York and Berlin.

Serialized in three parts (Part 1 ; Part 2 ; Part 3) by Alternet and the Huffington Post, and now translated into several languages, I chronicled the 2009 Honduran Coup using comics published online in real time as events unfolded.
